6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Moderate north swell is coming in. Inside the bay might be doable but watch for surge and decreased water clarity.
- Surf: 2-3 ft.
- Weather: Similar to North Bays
-
Notes: Rocky shoreline sheltered bay. Use the Honolua Lookout before the bay to check conditions. The water should be blue and you should be able to see the reef. If the water looks “milky” or green the snorkeling will not be good. If there are surfers on the north side of the bay the snorkeling conditions are probably poor or even dangerous. If it has been raining the river empties brown, muddy water into the bay and you should definitely stay out of the water.

6Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Mild winds. Small surf rolling in from a north swell. Looking pretty nice this morning.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 1-3 ft.
- Weather: Widespread haze. Mostly sunny, with a high near 79. Light and variable wind.
- Notes: Don’t snorkel directly under Black Rock, you don’t want to get jumped on. Turtles as usual. Don’t forget they are protected so give them space but enjoy. If you venture around Black Rock stay close to shore. Watch for surge along the rocks.

8Olowalu Mile Marker 14
Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach- Overall Conditions: Similar to the past few days. Small surf. Calm winds. Should be pretty nice here today.
- Weather: N wind 7 to 15 kt, with gusts as high as 22 kt. Sunny.
- Notes: Give the turtles some space and don’t get your car stuck in the sand. There is a sand channel that goes through the reef across the highway from the Mile Marker 14 post that is the easiest place to swim out.
